image build problems with custom package-ref/upstream version

Recommended Posts

I’m trying to integrate the newly released hostapd 2.7 into an image and I’m having trouble including it as a part of the image build process (bionic on vagrant - by the book). My tree is a few weeks out of date, but I can’t see any subsequent commits to the scripts that seem to be the source of my trouble.

Subsequently it is unable to find the 2.7 deb and hostapd stays at armbian’s 2.6-99

hostapd is already the newest version (3:2.6-99~armbian5.60+1).

Can anyone suggest what might be happening here, and where I might look next as I try to resolve this? It’s the first time I’ve tried to compile extra applications but I can’t find anything in the doco or forum that seems related to this situation.
